Комментарий одного моего знакомого, paralegal из Фресно, который в курсе всех тамошних событий:
It was a BS claim from the very start. Two guys ran an illegal gambling operation. They didn't allege that money had been stolen and not accounted for by the PD until well after they initially filed their lawsuit and only then to try and avoid a Motion for Summary Judgment. If they truly thought that the PD stole $100,000 from them why wasn't it alleged in the original lawsuit (they knew well ahead of the filing of their suit that the Fresno PD said only $50,000 was seized from them). That is why the 9th Circuit told them to pound sand.
